Greener Beers! Happy St Patrick's Day!

More and more beer breweries are starting to think about their carbon footprint and taking steps to reduce it! So do the earth a favor this St. Patrick's day, and Drink a few GREENER beers!

In 2003, the BROOKLYN BREWERY was the first to switch to using ALL wind energy. Brooklyn Brewery's green power stops 335,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 1,500 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 500 pounds of nitrogen oxide from being emitted into the atmosphere annually.

The Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland Ohio uses a delivery truck that runs on 100% recycled restaurant vegetable oil!

At Sierra Nevada in California, they've installed four fuel cell power units to supply electric power and heat to the brewery. They also recycle 33,738 tons of materials annually --97.8 percent of their total waste!!

If I've missed any that you know of, please feel free to comment, and I hope you're having a GREEN St. Patrick's Day!

Epic Spring Skiing!

With the HUGE SNOWPACK we have here in the Utah Ski Resorts, this year promises to be one of the best “spring skiing” years we’ve had in a long time! There’s nothing better than waking up on a beautiful, sunny day and hitting the slopes. You can wear fewer layers, sit in the sun outside during lunch, and just enjoy the outdoors in general on days like this! Sure, the snow might be a little slushy at the bottom of the mountain, but all in all, it is pretty nice and soft. It gets you thinking about summer, and the warm days to come, but while still enjoying the great Utah snow.

This year, there might even be the opportunity to ski twice in a day! If the snow pack lasts long enough, then in late May/June, you can actually SNOW SKI in the morning, then hit the lake, and WATER SKI in the afternoon! Makes for a FULL, FUN day! In the winter of 2005/2006, Snowbird ski resort remained opened until JULY 4^th!

If you’re considering a spring skiing vacation, Please feel free to give me a call! I can help you out with a place to stay, discount lift tickets, and much more. Visit my website at http://www.JParkCity.com for details on all that Park City has to offer!

A New Concept from Porsche - A HYBRID!

Porsche will be releasing the first (non-hybrid) models of the PANAMERA in Late 2009, with a Hybrid version soon to follow. There have also been murmurings about a hybrid version of the Porsche Cayenne SUV as well, but the one that caught my attention is this new Panamera! It's a totally new model from Porsche. Perhaps this car will capture a whole NEW breed of hybrid drivers...

True Story about True Love :)

These two guys reared this lion from a baby in England but the authorities would not allow them to keep it once it reached maturity so they were forced to give it up, they took it back to Africa and placed it in a wildlife sanctuary. A year later they went to see it and weretold it would not remember them.

There's no sound, but look at the picture first and then watch the video .
